Here are some potential responses to the question: How old are you?
- 29... I was just thinking about a perfect cribbage hand and, sure enough, it's worth 29 points. I'm sorry, did you say something?
- I'm 29... well "techinically" 29 and 26 quarters, but let's not concern ourselves with fractions.
- I'm 29. Wait, you did just ask my choir robe number*, right?
- I'm 29. (Base 13, though not common, is still valid.)
- I'm 29... hang on, I think I might be counting leap years wrong. Oh well, close enough.
- I'm 29 yrs old. (Note: "yr", pronounced "yeer", is a unit (I just made up) equal to 1 29th of the time between July 12th, 1977 and today.)
* Ok, my choir robe number is actually 36, but one could think of some grouping in which one is the 29th enumerated member.
